WAUsAU, Wis, Dec. 23.-The terrific
wind and snow storm that swept over
this country yesterday has not been fol-
lowed by freezing weather, as was
hoped for by lumbermen. Although
there is ROW plenty of snow the swamps
continue open, over which it is imposSi-
BILE to build roads until they freeze up.
On the uplands where work is progress
ing, the lOggerS experienced consider
able trouble during the storm by trees
blowing across the roads. The indica-
lions for large harvest of logs this sea-
son are decidedly favorable.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Dec. 23.-The soft
weather is not favorable to logging, and
unless the swamps are frozen shortly it
will prove a serious setback. The heavy
fall of snow will make it difficult to
transport supplies. The Chippewa
Logging company will not make public
the estimate total lot, but have pub
lished a partial list of the camps OPP
Grated for them. and leave the public TO
guess what the total amount will be.
Over 172 logging camps are distributed

NORQUAY MUST GO.
The Premier OF Manitoba Com.
PEELED to Resign.

Special 10 the GLOBE
WINNIPEG, Man., Dec. 23.-The local
political situation was brought to focus
by the Conservative members of the
house, and Norquay has been forced to
the wall and has announced his resigna-
ton, with that of La Riviere, both hav-
ing been compelled by the force of pub
lie opinion regarding their miSdeeds in
connection with the Hudson Bay rail-
way bonds to retire. Harrison, minister
of agriculture, was elected by the party
as leader, and NOrquay, who has been
promised situation by Sir John Nc
Donald, agrees to recommend to the
lieutenant governor. when he hands in
his resignation, that Harrison be sum-
moned to form a government. NOrquay
protested his innocence Stoutly, and de-
clared that he will move for
an inquiry when the house meets
and clear his skirts. La Riviere
charged Sir John Macdonald with bare
faced lying in connection with the Hud-
son Bay railway land grant. Sir John,
he declares, promised faithfully to
transfer the land grant to the province,
assuring him that the Manitoba govern
ment might hand the bonds to the con-
tractors, so they would be secured.
This Sir John denies, and La RiViere, al
though
FRIGHTFULLY INDIGNANT,
has consented TO become the ScapegOat.
Harrison will run through the session,
which opens on Jan. ~, with only three
ministers, as the calling of any one to
the cabinet would make it necessary
that he should go to his constituents for
reelection before he could sit in the
house as cabinet minister. With the
casting vote of the speaker Harrison
will have sufficient following to carry
him through. The policy of the new
government is to be one of rigid econ
Omy and retrenchment and strong pro-
vincial rights, including determine
ton to complete the Red River Valley
road at all hazards, Harrison desired
coalition with the opposition, but they
would not cOalesce, because they be-
lieve all the ministers equally guilty
with Norquay and La Riviere, although
in caucus they all protested their innO-
cence. Norquay is to resign in two or
three days. Further interesting devel-
Opments are looked for in the near
future

CASSATT'S KICK.
An Iowa Democrat Protests
Against Being Counted Out.

Special to the Globe.
Dies MONIES, To-, Dec. Ex-senator
Cassatt, representing the Fifteenth SEN
atOrial district, to-day commenced man.
damUs proceedings against the state
board of canvassers to compel them to
count the vote cast for senator in his
district. Senator CasSatt was a candi-
date for reelection and had nine major
ity on the face of the returns. When
the returns of Monroe county were
opened they contained certificate
from the county canvassing board stat
ing that in three precincts in that
county an excess of ballots existed over
names on the poll books, the difference
being eleven, or just enough to invali
date the election. Upon further exam
ination it was found that in one town.
ship the apparent excess was caused by
an error in computation. making diff
ference of ten in the totals. The state
canvassing board ignored this fact and
directed the governor to call special
election in the three disputed precincts.
The mandamuS proceedings are for the
purpose of compelling the board to pro-
coed with the count and declare the re-
suit. Senator CasSatt is a Democrat
and the members of the board are all
Republicans.

Should Uncle Aid Them?

RED WING, Dec. 23.-Considerable of
a discussion has been stirred up here of
late as to the duties of Goodhue county
in the matter of providing for the in
digent Indians within her borders. The
county has been paying out several hun
bred dollars every year for long time
to aid these Indians in securing the
necessaries of life and the commission
ers have at length arrived at the conclu-
sion that they are legitimate government
charges and should be provided for ac-
cOrdingIy. At the request of Secretary
Hart, of the state board of corrections
and charities, Attorney General
Clapp has verbally informed him
that there is no question. but
that under our constitution these Indians
are a legitimate charge of Goodhue
county. County Attorney Wilson takes
an opposite view. claiming that there is
no legal duty resting on the county to
grant aid to these Indians except as
Christianity and humanity raise moral
obligation not to let them suffer for the
necessaries of life. The matter has
been referred to the secretary of the
interior for final decision.

A farm of !, 120 acres in this vicinity
has been sold to E. j. Clark, late of st.

the George murder trial this morning
returned verdict finding the defend
ant, George, guilty of murder in the
first degree. This is the second cOnvic-

this morning in anticipation of verdict,
but as it was expected to be one of
guilty, no surprise was felt. The court

not offer any evidence in his defense it
is hardly possible that motion for a
